In this presentation of the subject Research and Statistics in Physical Education (PED 453) , we will explore about the mean, mode , and median in research.
Second slide contains the content of the presentation that is mean, mode , median in research.
Third slide is of mean: the measure of central tendency in which we have three points which are as follows:-

On the fourth slide we have median: the middle value which again have the three points which are as follows:-

On the fifth slide we have mode: Identifying the most frequent value which includes:-

3. Mean: The Measure of Central Tendency
Definition
The mean represents the average of a set of values and is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values.
Applications
The mean is commonly used in research to summarize data and understand the central tendency of a distribution.
Calculation
To calculate the mean, add up all values and divide the sum by the total count of values.
4. Median: The Middle Value
Definition
The median is the middle value in a dataset when it is sorted in ascending or descending order.
Calculation
To calculate the median, arrange the values in order and find the value that is in the middle.
Interpretation
The median is less affected by extreme values, making it a robust measure of central tendency.
5. Mode: Identifying the Most Frequent Value
Definition
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset and can help identify the most common observation.
Calculation
To find the mode, identify the value that occurs with the highest frequency in the dataset.
Examples
The mode is particularly useful in analyzing categorical or discrete data.
6. Conclusion and Summary
Mean:
An average measure that represents the overall central tendency of a dataset.
Mode:
The most frequently occurring value in a dataset, providing insight into the highest observed frequency.
Median:
The middle value in a dataset, helpful in understanding the central position and resistance to extreme values.
